Re: Multi-byte character form field support in MyFaces?

[Eric Hedström]

This indicates the user is entering text that is not supported by the 
character set of your page. If you set the content-type of your page to 
text/html;charset=UTF-8 then the browser will respond with UTF-8 text 
and thus won't need to encode characters like this.

For example, put this at the very top of your JSP:
<%@ page language="java" buffer="8kb" 
contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"%>

Hi,

We have an application where we would like users to be able to enter
multi-byte characters such as Chinese/Japanese. The user can enter the
characters fine into an <h:inputText> form field. In my bean which has a
binding to the field, I'm seeing String contents such as
"&#12365;&#12419;&#12458;&#12512;&#13018;" - where as I would hope the
String would contain the java UTF version of the characters. Does my
application require an extra "decoding" step for _every_ bean property -
or I am missing something? E.g. Do I need to tell MyFaces to decode
multi-byte String values from HTML Forms values or do I need to do
something to the page itself...?

Thanks for your time,

Kevin
